It’s important to review cannabis therapy with a health professional that understands how cannabis might interact with specific conditions or medications to ensure safe and effective cannabis therapy outcomes.

Our goal is to educate our clients on how to schedule or to manage their cannabis regimen to reduce any possible factors that may impede the efficacy of their cannabis therapy.

It is critical to inform all of your healthcare professionals that you are using cannabis products. Healthcare professionals include your doctors, nurses, and pharmacists. As part of the consultation, we will evaluate your current medication/supplement list to check for medication interactions.

Taking more cannabis than the ECS is accustomed to having may result in unpleasant side effects, including sedation and decreased function, or severe forms of nausea, vomiting, and dizziness.

To avoid potential side effects, begin with a low starting dose, increase slowly over time, and use individual responses to guide when and how much to increase.

If side effects develop, decrease to the previously tolerated dose for a couple of days before attempting to increase the dosage again to build a tolerance. The use of medical cannabis may initially cause a worsening of symptoms if the dose is increased too quickly.

Other adverse effects or not having any beneficial results can be due to the plant source, extraction methods, and the manufacturing process. How to choose a quality product is discussed during our consultations.
